I do not tend to believe conspiracy theories, but they can be a fun excerise in the imagination and provide many an afternoon of crawling deep into the rabbit hole looking for clues.

I used to work in a magazine warehouse that allowed us to have 1 copy of every magazine free, one of the magazines we stocked was Fortean Times so my favourite conspiracy theories are too numerous to count.

I take virtually all of these with a healthy dose of "yeah, right" so i'm not a nut but it is fun to think what if?

1: The British royal family are really space lizards (this one cracks me up)

2: Aliens had a base on the moon, this was "proved" by photos of a bridge across a crater & a spire & once these were spotted the aliens dismantled their base to prevent further detection.

3: Aliens were sighted on the first moon landing watching Neil Armstrong & buzz Aldrin from the ridge of a crater, this is apparently why there was a break in the transmission, to prevent the world from knowing the truth.

4: The faces on Mars were erased from photos by NASA to keep the secret that intelligent life once existed on Mars, another theory is that the faces were obliterated by nukes!

5: Chupacabra is an American research project that went wrong & escaped, another theory is that it is an aliens pet that escaped.

6: The world will end next year just because some lazy Mayan couldn't be bothered to make the calander go further than 2012.

7: Dinosaurs still exist in some remote rainforests, i'd love this to be true, it would explain the Chinese belief in dragons & would prove a plausable theory as to what St George fought to make himself so famous.

As much as i'd love this to be true (who wouldn't want to see real live dinosaur?) I think the only living fossils we will ever find are in the sea, one was found a few years ago after all, this is true & not conspiracy theory, it was a kind of fish thought missing from the fossil record for millions of years.

So there you go, i've only touched the tip of the iceberg for conspiracy theories that get my imagination fired up & they are in no particular order

What a load of rubbish, that one was put out by the USA to misdirect people from the truth that it's really Mars that's hollow, the faces on Mars are really doorways in the interior so NASA either removed them from photos or flattened them, with nukes!

Honstly, some people will believe anything

My favorite conspiratorial postulation is that most conspiracy theories are CIA-type counter-intelligence operations designed to: simultaneously draw attention away from, and make a subject of ridicule of, the actual few that are true.

And I'm old school, so I still favor The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.  Although I must say the entire ball of Knights Templar/Freemasons/Grail/Arc/Treasures/bloodline of Jesus/obscure churches and, oh yeah, The Illuminati, that stuff gets me really hot as a historian.

That God was an Alien.

Although I wouldn't actually call it a Conspiracy-theory, as the material potentially supporting the idea is "right there" to read, so to speak.

My reason for this opinion, is that if one is supposed to read the Bible literally, as so many religious people "demand", then the only option is that He indeed was an Alien that was posing as a God and was believed to be one because of his superior technology.

I mean, think about it; What truly omnipowerful entity needs to move around with the aid of vehicles, constantly needs the aid of Humans in various tasks and are incapable to "drive out" a bunch of Human warriors from of a place "because their chariots were made of iron"?
Not to mention that He also ordered to have the area He was about to descend upon to deliver the Ten Commandments, sealed off for safety reasons, as the closest standing people from the mass of thousands of onlookers would otherwise die if they came to close when he descended from Heaven "in fire".

Enough said.

My first thought on reading:

The government is hollow and the Earth is secret.

That was a good chuckle right there.

Probably closer to the truth...
